yeah i could try it but you know Hahn is just a company trying to make a living so im not gonna make a big deal now if i really couldnt afford it right now then maybee but i can kinda so im just gonna deal with it

what is SI cause if it has like a step by step that would have really helped but i would like to see it for the reinstall

 

true.. but you're not the first person that has had something break off .. it would actually be better for you AND their image on the intake that they take responsibility for it

i know what you're saying .. but it's the principle of it.. i'm not trying to be a dick BUT.. when something has a major issue it should be brought to someones attention and dealt with accordingly.. if not .. it only runs the risk of this issue coming up with others

 

true i do agree with you but then i might have my car down for even longer having to probubly send my turbo to them then wait for them to look at it and wait for them to ship back and HOPEFULLY get good news but if i get bad news then i still have to send it out to get rebuilt

 

hmm

well doesn't hurt to send them a message right? if thats the case just tell them that you can't be without a car and they can either A reimburse you for the cost of the repair or B do something else for you or C you say F it even after wards .. i see your worry though..

 

I would definetly contact them and send back the defective intake so they can see what went wrong....clearly metal pieces should not be coming off of an intake and into the turbo so they should at the very least refund you the part cost of the turbo or send you a replacement turbo of some kind.

Stories like this make me very worried about purchasing an intake from that manufacturer. Unless I hear about this problem being resolved in a professional manner on the part of that buisness, I will be looking elsewhere when the time comes to upgrade my intake.

 

INdeed, **** happens. To any manufacturer. IN all likely hood he doesnt have a mandrel bender and outsourced the pipe's. QC can be real tough when dealing with multiple outside vendors.

Send him a PM. They are constantly harping about being the best in the industry, I'm sure they will take responsibility for your turbo purely based on that.

 

I have been telling him that for weeks now but he said he lost the metal piece down a sink drain. So he does not have any real proof now.

 

yeah that is the other reason too with out that peace it would be even harder to proove that it was the intake....even though there was no other way for something to shoot into my turbo

 

do you have a picture of that part NOT attached to the intake like it should be? lol

 

damnnnn that sucks. never going hahn when i get a TC.

 

Their DP is really nice. Quality control is not good if there are intakes leaving without parts and excess pieces of metal in them.

 

Yet everyone cries they are the best. Hence why I'm going with CIA in the future.

 

My car is a mutt of different parts that I believe perform very well and were cost effective. With the money I saved on my catback and intake I was able to buy my Clearimage chargepiping.

 

Terminator, i've heard a few things about your car. Can't wait to see a vid or a time slip.

 

yeah i would like to see what his car can do too

 

I definetly think they should share some of the cost to get your car repaired

 

i do agree with you but unfortunetly im just not willing to take a chance of having to wait any longer to get my car back on the road and now my other car is down too so im really kinda in a hurry im taken the turbo to the shop either tomarrow morning or thurday morning

 

well i took my turbo to a rebuild shop dude said it needs a new cartridge and says that part is not available yet so it looks like either buying new stock turbo and clutch or just getting the synapse 2871r kit cause there isnt anything else available yet im really starting to not like this very much

 

thats more reasons to talk to hahn now

 

Seriously there is no reason why you can't talk to Hahn. If their intake severly damaged your car from a manufacturing defect they should be held responsible unless it was some installation error on your part, which I doubt. I know you can't be without your car but it looks like you'll have to be for a while now. Might as well contact Hahn and see what he can do. Maybe he can help with repair cost. Never know untill you try.

 

Patience. I am not quite done yet. I am getting my intercooler soon and I will have one more round of dyno testing done and hopefully a 7400 rpm rev limit and still 300+ whp up there.... Crosses fingers. I was getting 3-4* of timing pulled by the ECM last time at 5K- 6800 because my IAT2s were 120-140* on the final 2 pulls. I am hoping to add a few more Hp with a cooler air charge from a better intercooler.

 

Gah, you should have talked to Hahn. Seriously..

I'm not doing anything else to my car and going to pick up a TC sometime next year and hearing stuff like this seriously turns me off of Hahn when I was pretty set on most of their products...

It'd be nice if you felt the need to post about the issue that you would speak to the manufacturer of the product that caused the problem, especially for anyone else looking to buy from them.

 

based on pics, looks like the hahn intake fucked u over, i'd contact hahn on it

 

Having been in the car hobby for quite awhile now- It's been my experience that off-road parts = your problem. It might not seem right, and might be unfair but thats life. The OP doesn't have the debris that caused the damage, nor have I seen any information showing where the debris came from on the intake.

I believe the OP, but if you were Hahn ... what would you do if a lot of people start calling wanting new turbochargers?

This is a shitty deal all around, but I'm not going to boycott Hahn or anything. Seems to me like the OP is manning up to the reality of his situation and dealing with it the best way he can so far.

 

ok well if it got thru from the intake, there is a filter in place, if filter is not punctured in anyway or form, the debirs came from the inside of the intake, no little debris will **** up blades that bad...now if not saying hahn owes u a turbo, just be sure to let all your friends, and everyone you know that the hahn intake fucked ur turbo up, that will save others from the same issue...maybe urs was just defected...either or...if you filter is nice and clean and not ruptured...than it broke off the from the insde, try and find the spot, and take it up with hahn, and post it online so everyone can see where it broke from and the damage it made, be sure to ephesize mileage on the intake, and how much its costing you to repair...
